Today is #GivingTuesday. We in the news business like to think of it as #GivingNewsDay. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If you value our work, we hope you’ll consider making a contribution to our newsroom today.
METHOD:
1. Open a drawer of unused hard wear and start picking through it to find washers of different sizes.
2. Lay out the washers and make sure you have a good assortment.
3. Spread out scrap paper out side and select your spray paint colors. Lay down the washers and apply even coats of spray paint (could be up to four coats, depending on opacity). Let dry.
4. Next, arrange your washers into the general shape and design of the lower part of the necklace.
5. Use E-6000 to glue each of the washers together, overlapping you wish.
6. Leave glue to “set up” overnight
7. Grab the ribbon you would like to use as the top part of the necklace and loop it through the hole of the top most washer, on both sides.
8. Sew the loops closed on both sides – there you have it a fabulous necklace ready to wear.
